|
|
|
|
| |
Having endured an expensive journey to consider a career change, Joanna Burgraf found that to follow your passion was the worst piece of advice she'd ever gotten. Joanna is a Chicago-based senior lead for an award-winning creative services team managing ten brands at Enova International, a company using technology to develop innovative financial products. You'll hear how this fashionable but naive empowerment slogan shifted her focus — from working on being a valued cooperative member of a larger team — to the self-engrossed, navel-gazing, isolating habit of finding one’s true "Self."

In this episode's talk, Co-Founder Kirkland Tibbels outlines the fundamental background that underlies the specialized knowledge enjoyed by our members around the world. In it, you'll start to hear for yourself why Troy Frost and so many others are thriving.

John Baigent lost everything during the 2007-2009 financial crisis and again in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, which devastated New Zealand’s second-largest city. Yet, he continues to thrive. In this episode, Co-Founders John Patterson and Kirkland Tibbels discuss how most people lack the ambition to create the conditions for a productive, satisfying life—waiting for life to "turn out" instead of actively producing the situations they need to live as they aspire.
